That's all the dieters were allowed to have for a specific number of days then there was a solid food part of the diet made up of foods that had very low calorie count. People were experience such great weight loss on the liquid drink they were skipping the food part. People were dropping like flies and ER's were swamped with people having side effects of essential starving themselves.

confident. A balanced eating regimen of end result, greens, grains, and nuts provides you with each and all the foodstuff you need to probable desire. i do no longer know why you could need to exclude soy, for the reason that's a plant nutrition, yet it relatively is your call. :) you will no longer strengthen into protein-damaging. That seems to be the biggest and maximum continual fantasy some plant-based eating regimen. only the alternative, in fact ... maximum meat-eaters get too a lot protein, and an extra could be only as undesirable as a deficiency. the sole ingredient strict vegans ought to visual reveal unit is they get adequate diet D and diet B12. the 1st, you may get via exposure to image voltaic (no, i'm no longer kidding), and the 2nd could be gained the two by supplementations, spirulina, or dietary yeast ... the latter of which has the earnings of having a somewhat cheesy flavor, so it relatively is great sprinkled on your popcorn ... which, of direction, is likewise vegan. :)

No. You would either starve to death, or your organs would shut down and kill you. Your bladder, liver, kidneys etc. all need regular intervals of food and water to keep working correctly. They could shut down and kill you.
Vitamins give your some much needed nutrients and minerals but you need protein, and carbs in order to keep your energy up or your body will start eating its own muscle and tissue in order to survive.

No. Food is needed for energy and vitamins alone cannot provide that much energy.

No. Without food you would burn all of your own tissue for energy - fat and muscle.
